Etymology
Probably 'the settlement of the Cippelings' from an OE Cippelingas , though one would have expected forms in inges , but cf. Lilling 32supra . The pers. n. Cippela (not adduced in independent use) is probably a diminutive formed by the suffix -ila from OE Cippa , a pers. n. found in Chippenham, etc. v. ing . One should perhaps compare Cippelinges 1336ForP 205 d , the name of a lost place in Goathland. See further Ekwall, PN in -ing 95.
